Terminator 2. First movie plays out exactly the same. Second one starts at night. We see Arnie S. walking through a devastated urban landscape. He pauses outside a particularly shabby looking hovel, then bursts in and machine guns everyone inside. In the background we see a TV set. It’s giving a foreign language news report of the massacre at a Los Angeles police station. The sketch of the suspect is [naturally] Arnie.
The Arnie we see is a CIA black ops assassin known as ‘The Terminator.’ When his handlers pick him up they drug him and put him on a plane to LA. We find out that the upper levels have decided that they need to throw him under the bus rather than risk having the press and Congress find out that they’ve been using him for years. They know he couldn’t have been the one who killed all the cops, but they can’t risk someone who knows him identifying him.
Meanwhile, the cyborg hand has crawled away from the scene. It has most the information of the main computer and can take over almost any advanced machine. It can’t, for example, take over a 1950’s car with no onboard computer, but a modern Tesla would be completely taken over.
We also have the daughter of the Paul Winfeild character. She’s a police detective in her own right, and is investigating what happened to her father. She knows that Sarah Connor is somehow involved. Call her “Pam” because if they’d made the movie in the 1980’s Pam Grier would have been perfect.
So, you’ve got Pam chasing Sarah and Arnie [who escapes as soon as his plane lands in LA] while the hand is hidden in a computer server farm. The hand is monitoring the internet and radio, and can control things like helicopters.
This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while.
